Do You Recognize your Dog's Bark?

Lily barks at every little thing she hears, but I definitely know her bark. Her "I hear a strange noise outside bark" is a little half bark/growl type of deal and then if someone's barging in the house or she thinks there's going to be an intruder, it's Pomeranian Yap Patrol barkfest . She also barks in her sleep. It's a little yip with a bit of a growl

I can tell which of my nine is barking without looking, and what they are barking at.

Freaks out my non-dog friends, who say, "How do you DO that?" I say they are my kids ... don't you know your kids' voices?

Cute thread

Neither of my two bark very much, but I can tell which dog is barking, and a bark at an animal vs. a stranger, as well as their other barks. Even though they are both big dogs and similar in size (Kersey is 75 pounds, Boone is 90 pounds), I can tell their poops apart from each other. Boone is a poop walker, and his are bigger. Kersey keeps hers in a neat pile, and hers are smaller. I can tell their panting apart, and I can tell their lapping up water from the water bowls apart from each other.

How interesting and amusing! Thanks all! We're such good mommies and daddies! (And we recognize poops! We rock!)

Killer barks the most by far, just because huskies really aren't barkers. He sounds pretty vicious when he barks at the fence, he's a great guard dog. His "guard dog" bark is very deep. When he's excited he has this little girly yippy bark, it cracks me up. He also does these growling howls when he's happy. He's dramatic with his yawns and grunts too.

Nebo really only barks when I ask him to speak. It's a pretty deep intimidating bark. The rest of the time he doesn't bark at all, he's very quiet. If you mess with him (hugging, etc.) he does a lot of growling, he's pretty vocal that way. He growls quite a bit when playing too.

Keva is the most vocal of the huskies. If she wants something (like dinner) she's not afraid to howl at me to let me know. She will sometimes bark at random strangers too. She barks at the neighbor whenever he goes out to feed his dogs. She used to bark her deep, guard dog bark at him and wouldn't shut up. Now he tosses some food over the fence so her barking starts out guard dog then quickly turns into her "I want food" howl. She also has a "bathtime song" it's a very unhappy and loud song.

Skya is also very quiet, but when she does bark it's hilarious. Every thing about that dog is weird. I'm not even sure how to describe it, but it's a strange bark/howl thing like "ra ra ra roo." She doesn't know how to howl either, she screams. If you get one dog howling, the whole pack will join in (even Killer) and its pretty easy to pick out each dogs voice, especially hers. If she wants something she makes this high pitched yip/growl...it sounds like a puppy noise.

But yes, to answer the original question, yes I always know which dogs bark (or howl or other strange noises) is which.
